Abstract

CALLE-CALLE, Nathaly Elizabeth  and  CUESTA-NIETO, Esteban Paúl. Endocrown, a different approach to oral rehabilitation. Rev. inf. cient. [online]. 2021, vol.100, n.6  Epub Nov 08, 2021. ISSN 1028-9933.

Introduction:

With the advancement of adhesive technology, new techniques and restorative materials are being used for the treatment of root canals; therefore endocrowns are a clinical alternative for their treatment. The advantage of this restoration is that it has better macro retentive characteristics, requires less clinical and laboratory time.

Objective:

To provide current bibliographic information on this new alternative to apply a new guide in oral rehabilitation with the use of endocrown through a literature review.

Method:

A detailed bibliographic review was carried out, with the consideration of original articles or clinical cases that included information related to endocrown-type restorations. The search was carried out in the databases PubMed, SciELO, Science Direct, Elsevier and Google Scholar.

Results:

Endocrown restorations are a single monoblock that rebuilds the complete anatomy of the dental crown, which takes advantage of the pulp chamber to achieve greater adhesion and macro mechanical retention. This restorative approach provides adequate function and aesthetics, as well as the biomechanical integrity of non-vital structures.

Conclusions:

The term minimal intervention is currently very used in modern dentistry, preserving the dental tissue as much as possible so that the teeth have greater functionality. Endocrowns are a safe option with a good long-term prognosis in oral rehabilitation to treat root canals, because it is a technically more conservative, aesthetic, simple and lower-cost procedure.
